The game known as football by some and soccer by others
It’s Holocaust remembrance day…
1-
1- *remembers* *shudders*
I need to go to bed now.
3 – Nighty-night.
I’ve been bombarded by ceremonies and programs since last night. You’d think that if they wanted the day to be special, they wouldn’t exhaust the topic so much.
So, who here likes boiled non-alcoholic beer with cheese?
6 – What the heck’s that?
6- Mulled wine is better.
1- *carefully* I find it more important to focus on the genicide in Darfurthan the holocaust, as the one happened a lifetime ago (and should not be forgotten) and the other one IS happening.
How about the origins of the universe and the different theories as to how it was created as a topic?
V.I.T.E.O.T.M. (Vixen in the Eyes of the Moon abbreviated) has a point. But the idea of holocaust remembrance day is to educate people about that stuff so they don’t let it happen again, so it’s still important.
11-Are you a neophyte? *Pies*
10-I like that topic!
12- No, she’s rather old. she was the first to cross the 18 +
11-Sorry!
14- no, what, I read that wrong. Never mind. It Looks like an Ego tho…
I like the inflationist theory, I think.
I agree. We had a Help Darfur poetry slam at my school last year.
Whatever the topic is, let’s please not have it be China. Adults are always “China this” and “China that”.
17- But China is such a big thing I don’t think such a short name represents it well enough! I could go on and on about China…For which reason I won’t.
9-I find it more important to remember Kristallnacht.
13- there’s only a few of us cross the +. makes me feel old to say ‘us’.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, what should be our topic? We could talk about rainbows!
I love rainbows! In fact, I saw one yesterday.
I second that. Rainbows are cool. I like using prisms to break up white light into rainbow colors.
I third rainbows as the topic. Once, I saw a triple rainbow. what makes them so cool to me is the way (Cliche Alert!) they represent opposites coming together…
23- NOO! The cliche! It’s blinding!
“To be determined”? Heh, our monthly assemlby today was about preserverence…
:/ I respect anyone determined to do something with their life..
Rainbows are good. I saw a double rainbow in Colorado one summer.
Rainbows are purty. ‘Nuff said.
So, are any Stephenie Meyer fans excited for the Host? It comes out in 4 days!!!! *omg* ((if you have no idea what im blabbing about, check out her website.))
Rainbows are awesome, except that you need rain for them to come out most of the time.
Once I was playing a soccer game, and it had been raining, but it was starting to stop. The score had been 0-0, and then the other team scored just as a rainbow was coming out. A few minutes later, one of the coaches on their team noticed that there was really two rainbows, one off to the side of the first a little. He yelled, “Two rainbows for two goals!”, meaning to inspire his team to score again. Well, he was right. There were two goals – except the second was for our team, and we ended up winning the game.
I was playing soccer once and my shirt flew up in the wind. And we were playing a co-ed team. :blush:
I don’t like the rainbow, because people always say it’s red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, but for most purposes the basic colors are generally considered to be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. It seems like purple deserves a spot in the rainbow as well!
It was slightly drizzling at our soccer game last week. We had one, 4-2. The other coaches are really…… enthusiastic. I think it’s because last year and the year before we were unbeaten. The teams have gotten a lot better! They seriously wiped me out, I thought I had asthma. But I think I might.
31-I’m not a major soccer player, but my dad coaches my brother’s team. My brother is obsessed with soccer!
I missed my last two soccer games because of school-related things, but in the last game i played in, the ref got mad at me when i jumped. I don’t know why i did, but it’s not illegal. (I guess it’s because i’m 6-ft and probably scared the crap out of the guy with the ball)
I dislike soccer, as I don’t fancy getting kicked in the shin or smashed in the face by the ball.
So is the topic soccer?
If it isn’t, I have a few suggestions:
a)Ideas for new threads
b)Coolest place you’ve ever been to
c)Hobby, or lack thereof
d)Politics, around the globe or local
e)Ambitions; For kids, what you want to be, for people 18 or older, dream job
f)What should the topic for this thread be?
Are these good?
Soccer is good. I am a soccer NUT. I was captain of my intramurel team, and we won third place this year. last year we won second in the league. I play for a team that plays against my school team, and I originally wasn’t supposed to be on that team and all my school people were all “How dare you betray us et cetera!!!!!!!” But then we beat them in a tournament and I’m all “Because we’re better than you et cetera!!!!!!” It’s pretty awesome. And I’m known as Bigfoot in my school for my infamous ‘kick the ball across the entire field’ dropkick back in ’06.
My team lost our soccer game today 3-1.
It’s our first lost all season, and it comes from a team that we beat earlier in the year. But our highest-scoring forward (also the coach’s daughter) was playing in that game, and since then she broke her ankle. (I think I posted that story on the May-hem thread.)
I have another game at 2 later today, against the last place team. We beat them last weekend, and if we lose today I will scream.
35 – a) There’s the Suggestion Box thread for that.
I’ve visited my grandparents in Florida and New York a few times, but nothing really spectacular. I also went to the Bahamas when I was 6 months old, but, for obvious reasons, I don’t exactly remember that. 
And MuseBlog. 
b) Hmmm…well, I haven’t exactly been very many places.
c) Um…soccer?
d) Probably better for the hot topics thread, just because a lot of people have really strong opinions about politics.
e) I think I’d like to be a teacher. My dad’s a teacher, and I’ve had good experiences with teachers and school, so that probably factors into that. Plus, if/when I have kids I would be on pretty much the same schedule as them for weekends and summer, so I’d get to spend a lot of time with my family.
f) I think we’ve got quite a few good topics floating around right now. Rainbows, soccer, cool places, hobbies, ambitions…lots and lots of good topics!
One at a time, please. Which shall we post on “comment zero”?
38 – Erm…I dunno. I think soccer would exclude the people who don’t play soccer a bit, rainbows is a bit narrow, cool places and hobbies are good but won’t last long before everybody runs out of things to say. Ambitions seems pretty good to me, but other people should have a say before you put anything in Post 0.
Why not talk about chameleons?
Or, we could talk about movie cliches!
I vote soccer, or opinion on American soccer, or other soccer-related topics. After all, it is the world’s most popular sport.
Okay, I’m just going to keep talking about soccer, because it’s kind of sort of the only thing on my mind right now.
First of all, remember the game I said that if we lost, I’d scream? Well, we lost. We had a horrible, horrible first half, and while we did well in the second half, we had a 5 minute span about halfway through where we just fell flat and they scored a goal.
Final Score: 1-0
This stinks…we hasn’t lost a game all season, and then our best forward and our leading scorer – who, judging by the past few games, is the ONLY one who can score – broke her ankle, so she’s going to be out for the rest of the season, AND for the entire summer. What’s more, by the fall she’s going to be gone to another team for good, and two of our other best players are going to be gone as well.
Quite frankly, our team is going to stink…
Our coach doesn’t even care whether we have a good team or not. He is literally going to keep everyone who is currently on the team on the team for next season, and if there are other people at tryouts who are better then them – too bad. The current players will still get in, because our team has a good “community”.
Well, I don’t know about them, and communities are nice and all, but I play soccer to have fun. Losing is not fun, especially like today when we lose two in a row to teams we’ve beaten before in this season. Losing is not fun at all, and if we lose that many of our good players, we are going to be losing quite a bit more.
[/rant]
Soccer. Don’t mention soccer to me. I used to be so good at it…
Maybe it’s just the fact that we’ve been playing indoors. Maybe it’s that my shoes don’t have treads anymore. Maybe it’s that everyone in my class is half again my size. Or maybe the PE environment sucks (OK, no maybe about it). Or maybe I just plain stink at it.
42- Ooh, that sucks. The last soccer team I was on was simply awful. Bad coach, no one was very good at it… We lost every game.
43 – The funny thing is, I love my team. I’ve made great friends on it, and I actually made the choice to stay with them instead of going to a higher level team this year. (Which, actually, ended up collapsing. The point is that I could have gone.) But it’s just that I have no idea how things are going to go after this year. A lot of the best people on our team are leaving to other places, and I’m stuck in the middle. I’m right on the edge of select and premier, and I’m choosing to stay while a lot of others are choosing to cross. I guess I’m bringing this all upon myself, but that doesn’t make it any easier to bear.
The Dread Phrase of Soccer: “The most important thing is to have fun!”
Yes, lets have football for the topic! Oh, sorry, I meant soccer. Soccer, football, I just say both all the time. One moment it’s “Do you guys wanna play football?” The next it’s “We won our soccer game today!”
I had one today. I was FREEZING! my legs were red and I couldn’t bend them, and my hands hurt like crazy because I was mid- field for one part, than goalie for the rest. We won. We called that team the “Horn Team” because every year, every time they score a goal, somebody blows this load horn, I don’t know who.
I’ve never played soccer on a team, only at school. Every time I was goalie, someone would kick the ball in my gut. Every time!
28- Isn’t violet purple?
I think movie cliches is a good topic.
I think soccer is the most popular topic.
I adore soccer. When I’m playing it with people whom I like. With people I do not like, I get intimidated and panic. With people whom I do, I can dribble without gluing my eyes on the ball. I play on my school team and in the summer. I much prefer playing in the summer.
45 – Well, it is. If you’re not having fun, what’s the point in playing?
42- Ow, that hurts. My team was doing awesome last season, but we lost our last game. We then found out that, if we had won it, we would have gotten the #1 seed for the playoffs instead of #3. Well, we put that behind us and promptly got creamed by the #7 seed. We later found out that they had cheated, but by the time we got our complaint in, the next game had been played and they had been eliminated. To make it worse, had we beaten them, we would have played our archrivals. Let’s just say, we were pretty mad after all this.
Oh and there’s more: during a mid-season tournament, we needed a win or a tie to advance out of the group stage. Well, we lost that freezing-cold game by one.
And in another tournament after the season was over, two things happened worth mentioning. First, we were tied against a team we should have been beating with minutes left. Then their goalie launched a huge punt and our midfielder went to snag the ball out of the air and missed. The ball bounced over him, right to a waiting attacker, who scored on us. Then, in a game we were already losing, (but we could tie it if we put one more in the net) our goalie came out and scooped up the ball. Then an attacker rams him with all his might, almost knocking him unconscious. That’s supposed to be a red, but he got off with yellow. Also, the time it took to get our goalie back on his feet and onto the sidelines was long enough for time to expire.
*Sigh* Oh well, it’s in the past.
51-It’s right, and I stand by it completely. More competitive people stop it up, and the Coachs have to bring it up, despite annoyance. It’s like the Dread Phrase for Football.
50- Yes, a lot depends on whether you like the people with whom you’re playing. I hate PE, because I hardly know anyone.
52 – Oh, that stinks. Don’t you just hate bad referees? Our team was playing another team from our club – they were premier, we were select – in a tournament a while ago and we got a ref that was just horrible. They didn’t particularly like us, because of an amazing late-game comeback we had pulled on them the last time we had played them, in a scrimmage, and they were an aggressive team anyways. Needless to say, the ref wouldn’t call anything at all, so they just kept pushing harder and harder. It was pretty bad. At one point I was near the sideline going for the ball and this girl came up and, somehow, I ended up on the ground 5 feet out of bounds. One of my legs was slightly longer then the other for weeks after that.
However, we got the last laugh. Literally the next practice after that game one of their players joined our team, because she didn’t like the coaching practices of their team’s coach. I mean, he made his players call him “Sir”!
A few weeks later, another of their players joined their team. Currently they have 12 players left from their original 17, and the team is disbanding after this year.
Karma?
55- Ah, sweet, unintentional revenge. The team that eliminated us from the playoffs isn’t playing nest year; it was the first time that club played in our league, and there were enough problems for them to get thrown out. Karma, well, I may have to agree.
I’m a wicked sweeper, because I can’t really run without dyong and I have an INTENSO kick. My soccer coaches call me ‘Sianna, the Rock in the Back’, or ‘Sianna the Stop-Sign’. It makes me proud.
i like soccer too…yay!
Ewwww….sports….ewwww…….
I suck at American football and soccer. That is the extent of my things to contribute. *leaves*
*does not see the point of cahsing a ball around like a mother deprived puppy*
I used to be on a soccer team. We kinda sucked at first, but then we got some good players and started pwning. Then they left and we started losing again, and then the team sort of broke apart. Still, no complaints; I made a couple of good friends, and I learned to have fun losing too, which helps because I’m not too good at most sports (with the exception of swimming, with which I’m currently involved).
I guess soccer is okay…the only thing I don’t like about it is it’s American name. Why soccer? I mean it should be football…you use your feet to play.
60- It isn’t just CHASING the ball!!!! It’s about kicking and passing and shooting and so much more!

I’m just gonna say one thing, and get outta here until the topic changes:
Soccer is fun to play (sometimes), but if you’re not into it, it’s extremely boring to watch.
My favorite soccer player is Zidane and I like wearing the jersey to school and loudly proclaiming my beliefs to annoy the Italian fans. If they disagree, I typically headbutt them. *laughs maniacally*
63 – Yeah, exactly! When I’m at school sometimes people say things like “Eww, soccer is just kicking a ball around. What’s so hard about that?” And, yeah, you do kick a ball around, but you have to have just the perfect touch on the ball, and with different surfaces of your foot, and it’s such a mental game, too. You need to find the space on the field and time things perfectly with exactly the right amount of power. It’s a ton more complicated then just kicking a ball around on a field!
66 – True. Playing soccer is awesome, and so is watching your team play, but if you’re just watching some random game played by people you don’t know it’s not very much fun at all.
65- I agree i played in it last year and we lost miserably but it rocked anyway!
66- That’s right, You really need to be a soccer fan to watch soccer. That’s probably the main reason why it hasn’t caught on in the US yet. Though it is getting more popular.
67- VIVA ITALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t have anything against Zidane until he did that head-but thing in the final. You have to admit that was stupid. And my favorite player is Totti. VIVA ROMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At my school we play world cup games and we make up random names for our teams (Girlfriends, Tomatopies, HappySmilies, etc.)
69- Exactly. It’s only a matter of time before the stupid americans catch on… then we will TAKE OVER!!!!!
70- Our PE teacher makes up teh names. We were the Stars last year. And that team was in the bottom of the league for YEARS until I showed up…
It makes me so proud!
65- It SO looks like a kitty. You have no idea.

EXSPLIEDED- translation?
73- Exsplieded (ex-PLY-ded): So excited that one’s head feels as though it is about to undergo a violent and sudden detonation.
Ah. well i go for Deutchland as amerika is HORRIBLE.
72 – Cool!
Is it awesome? I just read Twilight the other day, and it was incredibly awesome, just like everybody said it would be.
73 – Not the women’s team. The U.S. Women’s Soccer team pwns.
*comes back* *realizes that she still has nothing to contribute* *leaves* *suddenly pops back in* I did football in PE earlier this year. Even though our team was the last six people in the class that no one wanted (and one football player) we won or tied every single game! Go us!
77- good point… the guys a mediocre though (i think i speeled that correctly)
74 – thanks!
79- Mediocre? That’s being a bit too nice to them. You’d think they would have at least won a game at the world cup. They didn’t even score a goal. They had to have Italy do it for them. (granted, they did make it into the world cup, but the north american competition isn’t all that tough.)
So, my friends Vicki, Sydney, Elissa and I are going to start a web show called Randomosity.
45- that’s the dread phrase in every sport!
Is there even still a coherent topic? If there is, can we change it?
84- Yes, let’s!
So, there’s this little puddle of cat barf under the computer desk, and it’s been there for about 2 weeks. It kind of crystallized by now. I’m waiting for my dad to notice it, and it’s sort of like a little competition for myself to see how long it goes unnoticed. It’s really nasty, but it’s totally worth it.
So what’s up with you guys?
Soccer? Hmm, I don’t play it. In fact, I’d probably kill myself if I tried.
I bet if socergirl216 comes on she’ll have plenty to say though!
Topic suggestions anyone? Cleaning habits? (MissSwann’s cat barf comment made me think of that.)
87~ I can’t stand cleaning!! Eew.
maybe, I dunno, music and it’s roles in the 18th century? (I’m making fun of myself here, people, just so you know!)
87-Maybe Dance and Dancing (All Kinds!)?
89-Yees! Purlease!
My team just lost a soccer game, and I just watched Chicago beat DC 2-0 on tv. But I won’t say anymore, as we seem to be changing the topic. I agree with the Bookworm, dancing is a good topic, especially with the Ball going on right now.
I used to dance, but then I stopped when I was 5. I did the Rubber Duckie Dance , and I was so cute!!!
Wow. I hate to say this, but I really can’t dance. Well, once I did q pretty good liturgical dance at my church, but other then that………Let’s just say that I’m not flexible at all and have a tendancy to trip over my own feet……..
I like dancing!!!
When I was littler, my neighbor friend and I would dance to all these Disney songs.
And about three days ago I drove my parents banananuts by stomping to the beat of the first two songs from the second Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack. (I was pretty much right above them on the second floor.) (I stomped really loud… heh)
Dancing is fun.
I hate to drastically part myself from the current topic for a moment, but this is too funny to be left unsaid. If you go onto Mugglenet ( a harry potter fansite) and look at the updates from today, you will find that a company made Harry Potter YARN. Oh yes, yarn. Each ball represents a different character in Half Blood Prince. There’s Harry, Malfoy, Lupin, Tonks, Hermione, and maybe a few others. I’m sorry, but I think the advertisers are getting a litle desperate. Oh yeah, on a brighter note, Natalia Tena (Tonks in the movie) got a new (realistic) short haircut, and she will be a couple with Lupin in the movie! Yay!!!!!!
I adore dancing! And I have an enormous dance performance a week from tomorrow. *screams*
The group piece is based on the poem, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by Wallace Stevens. And its not entirely finished yet. *screams shrilly* The music is fantastic…
95) Whoah…… how did they accomplish that? How can yarn represent a different person?
97- Smart yarn, I guess. But the Ron one is all red, and the Tonks one is multicolored… I think it goes by hair/eye colour.
I take ballet, and I have taken it for seven years. I am a boy with long hair, so it can be a bit awkward, especially in classes with all girls and at performances, (“Why is the ‘girl’ wearing boys clothes, Mommy? I don’t know, /kid’s name/. Because I’m a boy!) I am not flexible, but it isn’t quite as big an issue with boys. Right now, I am in a class with two other boys, which is very cool, and the first time I’ve been in a class with a male teacher and that many other boys. I also have taken, and performed modern dance. I also do a thing called Gyrotonic, which is a cross between ballet, modern dance, yoga, and tai chi on special machines.
I have a couple ideas for topics:
1.Magazines(Muse,Cricket,etc)
2.Magic(Is it real?)
3.Kitties
4.Favorite Animals(Kitties!!)
5.Music
6.Books (YES!)
7. Best Vacation Spot
Please blog back if you like any of these topic ideas! (Kitties!!)
99-Yay! You’re a boy and you dance! And three boys in a class… wow.
Cecchetti exams make me not-very-happy. And I want to change my poine shoes, because I don’t like my Bloch Sonatas, now, because they make my feet look chunky and gross. (They were nice and cheap, though…) But I’m going to the Boston area to dance for the summer, (I CAN’T WAIT) and I’m having fun performing the thing we’re doing now.
And I’m not flexible at all, which is very sad. I need to get better turnout, because it’s kind of embarassing.
I just got back from my 2nd dance in two days; both djs were terrible. the first played a few good songs, but it was a school dance, so there were nuns watching every move. We could do what we wanted at the 2nd, but the dj didn’t have anything less than three years old. But I had fun at both; I went insane (almost literally) at the 1st, and played airguitar for “Enter Sandman” with two of my best friends at the other.
Yeah, I’m crazy when it comes to dancing.
101-You do ballet? That’s awesome. I used to want to be a ballerina, however I lacked the patience, and I was sort of attracted to the slightly-more-wildfulness of modern, which is what I do now. I still admire ballet and love watching it, however.
*is redundant* I have a performance in one week. *spazzes immoderately, yet again* (sorry to all who are forced to read this, but this performance has basically been the sole occupant of my thoughts since I realized how soon it is.) I am doing a solo to Zambra! It is sort of based on Flamenco…and sort of not. And I keep embarassing myself (which I enjoy very much) by dancing huge segments of it in public with my eyes half closed and totally oblivious to other people’s staring aghast at me! ; )
103-Well, I don’t know how good I am, but it’s fun. Modern is amazing, though. I did an audition for a modern summer program (despite not having any experience whatsoever) and I (obviously) didn’t get in.
But I admire modern and love watching it, however.
I took a couple flamenco classes once, and I had trouble with the wrists and stuff. But it was fun, too.
Omyfgosh, I saw Juno last night, and it was awesome! Though, I had dreams where I was pregnant all night, and that wasn’t too fun… It was actually kind of interesting.
100- Kitties! Yay! I have three kitties, and I swear to God they are the most adorable things to walk the Earth. Holly, Ivy, and Simon. I used to have Simon’s sister, Sasha, but she died of epilepsy last year. It was so sad.
101-A dance program in the Boston area? Awesome! Flamenco is also very beautiful, although the boys don’t get cool wrist stuff, or castanets. I enjoy watching it, though!
103-Modern Dance is really fun, and very interesting to watch and interperet, because it’s not as clear-cut as ballet. Also, you can break all the meticulous ballet rules. With all kinds of dance, I love to watch and I love to dance!
*sigh* Dance…
I went to ballet classes when I was small, but I was way too uncoordinated and not very good at all. So I didn’t go back the next year.
I really want to learn ballroom dancing, but see, it’s probably pretty expensive, and then there’s the fiddle lessons I want to take.
Dance? My little sister is the dancer in our family, not me. *shudder*
104- I’m awful at anything resembling flamenco. I tried once. My dance is more based on the esoteric mood and feeling than on the actual movements…and I can’t seem to master sufficient technique to perform it properly either.
I’m sure you’re really good. Totally random, but I was always wondering: Is pointe painful?
106-I agree. Dancing is just fun all-around. It is so cool that you dance.
107-I was going to take ballroom dancing (and I was so &^%$ excited), but somehow it all fell through, mostly becuase I couldn’t find a partner.
108-You could try…
At school, we’ve been doing swing dancing, and all the other boys pretend to hate it. Then, when they start dancing, they love it! The next day, they pretend to hate it! It’s so infuriating! /end rant/
I have a couple friends, (male), who, despite years of Marshal Arts, refuse to attempt dancing. I find Marshal Arts and Dance so similar… I mean, the katas in Karate are akin to coreagraphed modern dance sequences. But they won’t try dance…
110 – No thank you.
(110) I know what you mean, Bookworm. A few months ago I took up contradancing, and one of its greatest pleasures is meeting so many men (from teens to seniors) who ♥ ♥ ♥ dancing — and aren’t afraid to say so.
112-Great to know that, Lady Bunniful!
I did ballet and tap dancing when I was 6-ish, with a few of my friends. It was never really my “thing”, though, so, like piano and gymnastics and baseball and Girl Scouts, I just sort of stopped doing it. I just play soccer now.
112- How old are you? (don’t mean to be rude, just want to know…)
GAPAs, can we get a new suggestion box thread? And a Movies thread?
Wow! Men dancing? I think that there isn’t even one male at our school who takes dance class. And our school has a HUGE dance program! I think we have about 3 different dance teachers……
arrgh…i don’t how to dance. dangit. ah! i can fence though and, as i earlier said, i often like to duel newbies. they’re easy.
*spazzes* *stresses about dance performance on Saturday* I can’t believe its so soon! Argh! We haven’t finished the quartet yet. Must finish. Lighting tomorrow. So #$%^ worried/excited. Will report back later when sentences are less disjointed and emotion overflow has been checked.
118-Don’t stress and stay calm! When you’re on stage, it’s so much easier! Probably, Nesubanebded will help you out!
119-Thanks!
*is significantly calmed* (“You hear that, Nesu”)!
Not so long ago, I saw a flam… dance performance. Actually, I adored it with such a fiery passion that I went and saw it twice. The choreographer used a variety of different music (and I mean from hip-hop to classical to flamenco to ambient noise), and somehow made it blend together into a seamless whole. Gaw, I love when people succeed in doing that!
I have my lighting today. Fuun! I’ll probably orient myself in the wrong direction, go through half my dance before realizing it, execute some very clumsy maneuvre, and confuse the lighting designer to death. If I’m lucky.
I think Paul Taylor is a wonderful choreographer.
I am fail at any sort of dancing. It is really quite funny, in retrospect…
118- It’s my friend’s birthday on saturday! HAPPY BIRTHDAy LIVVY!
GAPAs, I’m doing a research project on Jane Austen. While I was looking for info online about her, I found her family crest. At the bottom, it says ‘Quinvidit Minorest’. Robert, in your big encyclopedia of a brain, can you help me translate this?
It’s actually “qui invidit minorest,” meaning “Whoever envies me is less than I.”
So, I just got back from the lighting for my dance. It went much more smoothly than previous years. Grr…don;t even talk to me about some of the lighting fiascos I’ve been through. Beyond having been blinded by the stage lights which relentlessly glared into my poor ol’ retinas, it was uneventful. Right before me, a super adorable munchkin was having his dance lit. it was about (or so I figured) an astronaut. He had gotten one of the also super adorable girls in his class to dress up in an insanely long cream-colored gone studded with rhine-stones and wear immens rhinestone earings. She walked around carrying some makeshift stars and he danced in a mini austronaut suit. It was a cuteness fiesta! Then stuff happened, and now I’m back at dear ol’ Museblog!
125-Glad it went well! I know cuteness fiesta dances like that!
126-Thank you! I love munchkin dances!
Oompa loompas! Dancing oompa loompas!
We saw the high school dance performance today. The theme was science. Each of the dances (choreographed by seniors, performed in by underclassmen) centered on a different theme. The first had an explosive energetic mood. The background had red hues. It was nuclear fission. Then there was one dance, which I liked a lot, about Newton’s laws of motion. Basically, the idea was that the dancers complied with the laws completely. To have their movement altered, an outside force had to interfere. It was an interesting idea. And it was pretty well executed. So I had a good time…
That last dance sounds very cool. I wish I could have seen it! Lurline, being the Discworld Muse, gets slightly confuddled by Newton’s Laws. Maybe this dance would help her get them…
130-Tell Lurline that I say hello and that she sounds pretty awesome, regardless of whether or not she knows Newton’s laws!
Awesome! Science put into dance? That must have looked so cool!
131-She says to thank you. She also began singing the Hedgehog Song. It can get irtitating after a few hundred verses…
Ello.
Do you know what i’m going to do….
DO YOU KNOW WHAT iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii AMGOING TO DOOO??
I’m going to change the topic…
to one of……
Cheese!!!!!!!!!
Or kittens, whichever you prefer.
I just spent about 4 hours at the studio today! First we rehearsed our group piece, then went on to practice our solos. I wasn’t initially planning on it, but I ended up even going to the other classes’ performance. The group part was entitled “Walk Around Vermeer”. The costumes were superb, and the girl dancing Vermeer’s part was incredible. She has a background in ballet…
133-I can imagine!
135-A Vermeer dance? I’m starting to love your dance studio, although I’ve never been!
136- My dance studio says, “thank you” and blushes!
Eep! In an hour and a half, I have to be at the studio to start final rehearsal, make-up, lighting the group piece etc. House opens at 7:00. Io sono very very excited!
*flops over and dies* Can we PLZ change the topic??????????????????? No offense, but I am bored outta my mind. How about vegetables? Or awesome movies?
139-As long as you’re willing to keep it as dance until 3:30, I am happy to change. I just need a proper place to spazz. Once I return, dance will have passed (atleast momentarily, meaning for about a week) out of my life, and I will be quite content to change the topic if anyone else wants to! To something like cheese. Or art, becuase the visual arts thread is depressingly dead!
140-Sorry, I always forget about the time difference; I meant 2:30 blog time.
141- I know, I hate the time difference. And I license you to spazz; I spazz on a minutely basis.
Oh, God, my family is watching The Coneheads. *flops over and dies*
143-The Coneheads?
We did it! Ode (our group piece based on WH Auden’s “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird”) came together like its never ever succeeded in doing before this. Except for one little collision, and a couple of timing mistakes IT WORKED! It was so incredible. I could barely resist the urge to scream halfway through.
My solo went decently. I hated the way it was lit, becuase, hoping to give it a mysterious ambience, I guess, the light designer had left the stage practicaly pitch black. I was stumbling around (and trying to balance) in the dark for the first half. And I was as nervous as a frog… Still, I didn’t mess up, and I had a decent amount of energy.
And now, I am super duper happy! Still, it feels so anticlimactic, after having practiced for months to suddenly have it over and done with. *sighs* I have gotten this odd nostalgic feeling almost every year and it depresses me…Ah well! Another year and a fresh beginning. That’ll be fun!
It’s an awful feeling, but good too! Bittersweet, I think… I’m so glad you all did well, though!!!
If no one objects, I think it might be neat to change the topic to movies?
144- Worst movie in the WORLD, other than the Runaway Bride. *barf* Google it. It’s about aleins with cones for heads. My brother loves it.
Movies are good. My favorite is The Illusionist, from 2006. I loved it!
I watched a Woody Allen movie about the Red Scare last night. It was pwnsome! The movie itself was very sad; it was about the depression and feelings of ostracization that movie stars and actors who were blacklisted during the second Red Scare underwent. However, Woody Allen still succeeded in being funny and quirky.
Oh, and I ♥ Humphrey Boghart!
72–All right, I know I’m putting myself in the line of fire here, but I actually did not like the Twilight trailer at all. The cinematagraphy (how they shot it and spliced it together) was horrible, it looked terribly corny, and Edward/Robert Pattinson did not get enough screen time
I hope it’s not a preview of what the movie will be like…
Has anyone seen “What’s up Tiger Lily”? It’s a Woody Allen movie where they took like a Japanese (or Chinese, I can’t remember) spy movie and dubbed it in English. I nearly died laughing when I saw it.
151- *lights you on fire* I actually didn’t think it was that good, either; I just liked it because it was TWILIGHT, people!!!!!!
Anyone seen Juno? See it, if you haven’t. It is so pwnsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “Jeez, Banana, shut your frickin gob, ok?” and “Silencio, old man!” are my favorite quotes ever, thanks to that movie. And I almost had a heart attack when I realised that Katie in X-Men 3 is the same actress (Ellen Page) as Juno.
BMITW!!!!!!!
I’m trying to remember the name of a hilarious silent black and white movie set in the Civil War…One scene in it: The hero is trying to get a train to start, but the train isn’t getting any traction on the tracks. He jumps out and starts shoveling sand on the tracks to get it to run. The train starts rolling down the tracks, with the guy still shoveling sand, oblivious to the runaway train. Finally, he notices and starts chasing the train. Does anyone know the title of this movie? Please?
143. You’re right. I just googled it, and it looks supremely idiotic. Dorky bald people with elongated pointy skulls. Weird.
152 – Ellen Page played Kitty? REALLY? Awesome! *wants to watch X-Men again*
I haven’t seen Juno. I’d like to someday.
There’s going to be a City of Ember movie coming out in October. It doesn’t look very good..
154- If Hollywood wrecks that book, I will DESTROY THEM. A great book like that doesn’t deserve to be Hollywoodized.
153- It is. Please don’t ever watch it.
154- Kitty, Katie… I dunno. Yes, she did. And SEE JUNO.
City of Ember movie??!?!!!?! *googles*
Why, you’re right! It doesn’t look TOO bad… *is probably wrong, but whatever*
(153) The movie about the train was “The General,” by the great silent-film comic Buster Keaton.
(156) So far, a different actor has played Kitty Pryde in each X-men movie.
154- *splutters* Why do they do these things? What’s the point? Are they completely sadistic? Do they ENJOY watching the agony of the young enthusiasts?
Hmm. It’s very hard to infer anything from the trailer. I’ll have to reread the book between now and October in order that I might know how dreadfully they are spoiling it.
Thanks, Robert!
What is up with the new Hulk movie?! Why do they have to make a new one with the same plot as the one made 4 YEARS AGO!
I love just about any black and white film. Particularly Hitchkock, The Third Man, Good Night And Good Luck (innnnnncredibly pwnsome) and…*trails on*
One of the biggest debaucheries of a book by a movie would be *thinks of far too many* *brain implodes* i don’t have a very high opinion of adapted screenplays…
160–because the last one was horrible and corny.
Speaking of remaking movies right after they’ve been released, I think that when I become a movie director (yes, WHEN not IF) then I will remake Ella Enchanted like the book. Ye gods, where was Gail Carson Levine when that horrible movie was made?
Who here likes Disney animated movies?!!!!
Yeah, I didn’t think so.
163- me!!!!!!!! I love the music.
The best way to spend a night: watching disney movies with friends.
Really. I did this with three of my friends. We had a disney movie marathon and slept not a wink all night.
Most modern movies are pretty much remakes of some other movie in some other way anyway. I remember the days when Tony Stark got the metal lodged near his heart in Vietnam by a booby trap. *sighs*
Oh, right. We also had to walk five miles to school under six feet of snow uphill both ways.
163- Yes, I love those! And I love Kitty Pryde!
Marvel comics are being turned into a lot of movies and games lately.
Speaking of moviegames, eventually we will see movies like “Iron Man the movie the game the movie the game the movie”.
162 – I agree.
Who here thinks that a lot of kiddy movies nowadays are redundant? redundant? redundant? redundant?
162-Gail Carson Levine went to the evil side, I’m afraid. After writing good/great books, she moved to Disney and began manufacturing Disney Fairy Books. She still writes her own things sometimes, but she’s mainly Disneyfied…
Can we talk about something else o gods of the MuseBlog? Once we hear comments about people liking animated Disney movies, the world is surely coming to a close. I beg of you! Something else!!!
Well, I’m waiting.
I’m becoming an atheist.
172- I am honored to be a hailbringer of doomsday.
Hello, Flatulus. You’re new around here, aren’t you? How did you discover MuseBlog? And, not to beat around the bush, how old are you?
171 – Some of her books are pretty good. I thought Fairest wasn’t bad.
But Ella Enchanted was my favoritest.
I thought there was a thread for Movies? Why isn’t all this on there?
Oh well. I like movies sometimes. If they’re good, and a lot of them aren’t. Books are unerringly better than their movie counterparts. Except in a few rare cases when the movie is almost as good as the book. Like the old version of Pride and Prejudice, I love that movie!! I love the book, too.
Movies that aren’t based on a book are only too often weak, without a very good plot. *sigh* Oh well.
Disney movies are okay, but I don’t really usually pay attention to who made the movie, if I like it, that’s great. If I hated it, too bad, I won’t watch it again.
176.(a) relatively
176. (b) from Muse the magazine itself
176. (c) 91 dog years
179-You’re 13?
178- which old movie?
my mother, sister, and I had a pride and prejiduce marathon. We never finished one of them but we got through a good three versions.
178 – I actually liked the Princess Diaries movies better than the books. The books were… weird. In a bad way.
Princess Diaries? Pardon me if I don’t know what you’re talking about.
183 – By Meg Cabot. About a girl who suddenly finds out she is princess of Genovia.
182 – You’re right. They do sound wierd in a bad way.
Oops, misspelling. *ahem* You’re right. They do sound weird in a bad way.
Are we still talking about movies? The conversation has kind of drifted away.
182–totally agree.
Another movie I luv luv the old version but hate hate the new one: Romeo and Juliet. I love the 60s version but the new one with Leo DeCaprio and Claire Danes is icky. I mean, come on, Leonardo DeCaprio + Shakespeare? Recipe for disaster.
185 & 186–don’t worry, we all mispell sumtimes
You don’t have to repost about little stuff, generally we lean away from double posts because it clogs up the threads.
157- Whoah, no wonder they all look different!
Nice name.
167- NOOOO! She totally stole Bobby from Rogue! I hate her. *mutters* Thinks she’s so cool just because she can walk through walls…
171-Really? I loved her!!! *cries* No, Gail! Stay with us!
187-
So, has anyone seen Across the Universe? *bows to Jim Sturgess* I just LOVE that movie!!!!! And Jude’s accent is, like, the cutest thing since Chibis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, the remake Beatles songs are sooooooo cool.
Eh, it got kind of boring in the middle of it.
189- I saw it. The music was good but the plot and charachters left much to be desired.
189–I love the movie! How did they find so many good-looking people with amazing voices?
182~ I agree! you know, the movies are nothing like the books, but so much better. Besides, Julie Andrews played a queen, what more can you ask?!
However, when there is a good boo, and it is mangled into a movie, it isn’t that great. I might venture to say that the Princess Diaries series wasn’t that god to start with….it’s the good books that bother me when they’re mutilated.
For example, the most recent movie adaptation of Pride and Prejudice is hideous. Kira Knightly is a beautiful woman. Unfortunately, she is a beautiful woman, and not much else. I’m not really impressed by her acting. Nor was I impressed at the way the story was changed in some important ways–and not for the better. It was made cutesy and lost the real reason for the story. [/rant]
Personally, I think that it wasn’t the actress’s fault, the direction was awful. I practically fell asleep halfway through.
193- that is ever the problem with compressing long books into short little films.
195 – Like LOTR.
192- I honestly have no idea. I love Jim Sturgess.
196- And yet the movies still manage to exceed three hours long.
197- Three hours of pure torture, if you ask me.
197 – Yup…
198 – I KNOW. They messed up the books.
They cut out Tom Bombadil.
He was my favorite character!!!! 
Who is Tom Bombadil? I haven’t read the books.
I watched the LOTR movies…..and didn’t really get them, since I hadn’t read the books. I still haven’t read the books, I found them really muddy and hard to get through, and I am the one who like Henry Fielding!! I should make another stab at LOTR, but every other time they’ve been quite unappealing. It makes me wonder why everyone raves on about them so, to be honest.
I’ll take your b-day points!
202~ Okay, here they are. Treble_cone_freeeskier invented them, and because I’ve had two MB birthdays I acquired them. However, they are clogging up my name, so I wish you the joy of them. *bequeaths 2 b-day points to The Bookworm, &c.*
I didn’t like Tom Bombadil. He reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. In a bad way.
I like Princess Mononoke, even though I haven’t seen it in two years. Has anyone seen ‘Gingersnaps?’
204- nope
-199 I am SOOOOOO sad they cut out Tom!
200 – This AWESOME dude who, sort of, guards a forest (I can’t remember which one) and is immune to the One Ring.
Tom Bombadil…
Cool guy. I can’t believe they cut him. Then again, Hollywood loves to do that.
199- TOM BOMBADIL is your favorite character???????? He drives me NUTS!!!!!!!!! I thought they were never going to get out of his house in the first one!!!!!!!!! *Bombadil hatred* *no offense* He drives me up the wall.
Has anyone seen Stardust????? OMG, best movie. I rented it 5 times on Pay-Per-View. My parents were going nutballso. But it rocks so much, I couldn’t help it.
I could tell you all a few things about that Tom Bombadil
On the subject of movies prinze cazpian is A++++++
Ben Barnes aka PRINZE CAZPIAN was also the flashback version of Dunstan in Stardust lololol
157) Really? Poo! I liked The Sity of Ember!!
199) I know! I was shocked when they cut him out!
Well, my favorite movie is The Lion King. i cry everytime that the dad dies.
I soooo have to see prince Caspian!
211 – The book was all right, but I’m not expecting great things from the movie.
212 – Yes. You do.
212- I really want to see it! My big sister saw it, and she wouldn’t let me come. I read all the books and she hasn’t, and she got to see it first! At least I get to see KUNG FU PANDA!
210- Seriously?????????? *wicked urge to see Caspian arising*
Stardust is seriously the best movie ever other than Juno.
Anyone see Indiana Jones 4? I actually liked it better than the other 3. (I know the movie gods are frowning down on me as I say this, but hey, an opinion is an opinion.)
215–Yay! I’m going to see Indy4 today with my friend.
204–Princess Mononoke is amazing! I don’t like too many anime movies (or whatever the correct term is), but that’s one of my faves. Also Spirited Away.
Has anyone seen My Neighbor Totoro? It’s also an anime movie…my favorite, I think. I used to watch it when I was little.
Sigh…three people within the last week have told me I look like the oldest girl in Narnia. I don’t think so (and frankly I’d rather NOT look like her).
Altho she gets Caspian, so that’s ok. Dig that accent.
216- Accents are hawt.
Totoro is such a sweet movie. I used to watch when I was little too, but I watched it again last year in Japanese class and it was still just as great.
Yaaay I’m back from Indiana 4. It was awwwwsum (altho a little weird). I’m off to the spoilers thread so I can discuss it.
219- Was it so totally rockursoxoff awesome!!!???!!!
I’m having a sleepover tonight and I don’t know which movie to rent. Elp?
The Golden Compass is horrible.
Prince Caspian is AWESOME!!! Although that’s probably cause I like long battle scenes.
220- If it’s still available for rent, At World’s End it ROKSURSOCKS!
My school was watching August Rush on the bus back from our trip last night. Thank goodness I had my CD player with me.
221 – Really? I loved The Golden Compass. Not as much as the Narnia movies, but close.
I ♥ the new Indiana Jones movie.
220-Hoodwinked?
220 – National Treasure? I heard it’s good.
221- I hated that movie. Will should NOT have left in the end!!!!!! And she probably got pregnant, too, and they’re not going to make another one, so… anyway, I own that.
225- I heard that was good.
226- It’s ok.
I rented Mean Girls and we watched it, then we watched Juno for good measure.
216- Oh, I love Spirited Away. And Totoro as well, but I’m not really happen with the new voices. Honestly, does it have to be Dakota Fanning EVERY TIME?
~~Movie stars who bug me rather a lot:~~
~~Dakota Fanning~~
~~Freddie Highmore~~
People who get lots of parts and really aren’t even that great irritate me. I know a lot of people must think they’re really good, but I get so sick of seeing them.
227 – We’re talking about the movie, right? o.o Will’s not in The Golden Compass…
229 – I think she’s talking about At World’s End.
229- I assume she’s talking about something else.
230 – Oh, that’s possible.
I loved At World’s End. I only watch them for the music, so…
228–I’d add Zac Efron to that list. He gets all these parts and he’s a horrible actor. *Prepares for the abuse*
234- I’ve never seen him, actually.
I loved the Golden Compass, though they did switch Bolvangar and the ice palace around…and cut out Lord Asriel at the end…
232 – Yeah…
234 – Abuse?!?!?! Most people here HATE HSM 1 and 2!!! *agrees whole-heartedly*
237) #1 is OK, although verging on annoying. #2 is atroshus. (spelling?)
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I don’t know a lot about movies.
However, I like LOTR movies (although not as good as the books) and Harry Potter movies (definately not as good as the books)
238- HSM OK? Not when your sisters are obsessed with it.
I’ve never heard the new Totoro voices, but I love the old movie. I watched it all the time when I was little, and my imaginary friend was Totoro!
I saw Spirited Away in Japanese long before it came to the US in English. I wasn’t completely sure what was going on, because my Japanese teacher basically just paused it every fifteen minutes or so to give an overview, but I got the basic picture.
I also like Kiki’s Delivery Service, though Kiki can be quite annoying at times.
226- Don’t!! It’s awful!
238 – It is atrocious. You’re right.
240- is that the one about the girl who has a flying bike?
240-Yiis! I love Kiki’s deliver service. Though I have to confess that has more to do the with the sheer excellence of the animation than the storyline. Generally, I adore the Miyazaki animations.
Whenever I have nothing better to do, I ransack my neighborhood film rental places for a copy of “Castle in the Sky.” “Howl’s Moving Castle” was superb too.
244- I love Kiki’s Delivery Service!
242 – Heh heh… careful with that alter ego!
244- Oh god. It’s manga, isn’t it?
234- Why are you waiting for abuse? Zac Efron sucks.
244- NO. HMC is a Bad Movie.
249-I thought the animations were absolutely superb. The way every part of the castle had synchronized movements that went together very well. And I love the plot….What objections?
250- Howl’s Moving Castle (book) = wonderfully awesome. HMC (movie) = BUTCHERING OF THE BOOK. Therefore, HMC (movie) = bad.
251-I don’t think so. To Kill A Mockingbird (book) = Great!!!!!!! TKAM (movie) = BUTCHERING OF THE BOOK. TKAM (movie), however, = Good on it’s own, and still Oscar-Nominated!!!
Ok, worst movie adaptation of a book ever? Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Lena does NAWT like Kostos, her grandmother does. Any other sucky book/movies?
252- What? I thought the movie did a great service to the book. It got the plot and characters right, which is more than you can say for most modern movies based on books.
253 – Prince Caspian? Narnia? HP? LOTR? … There’s one more I can’t remember.
254-THEY CUT SO MUCH!!!!!! Most Importantly, though, hey pace of TKAM is meant to be slow, and like a Southern Town in the 1900s. There were scenes and characters that didn’t matter for the plot. The movie action-packed it, and speeded it up. I say they BUTCHERED it!
*sigh* Flatulus, you must remember that Bookworm is, indeed, a bookworm. He WANTS the movie to be exactly like the book (if the book was good to begin with).
255- Really????? I thought Narnia was great! HP, maybe not… (chello, winky, stupid directors?????) and LOTR was OK… not teh best, but OK…
Lemme tell you all something. They had BETTER make an AWESOME movie adaptation to Twilight. Otherwise, I might conSPLODE. I’ll donut the screen when it’s over if I hate it.
Ha ha! I watched Princess Bride last night!
My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!
258 – I don’t think I would want to be in the same theater as you if it’s a bad movie.
259 – That’s my FAVORITE LINE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
